President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver the keynote address at the National Commemoration of Reconciliation Day at the Ncome Museum in the uMzinyathi District in KwaZulu-Natal.
The Day of Reconciliation is a South African public holiday established in 1995 to foster national unity after apartheid. The date was chosen because it held significance for both Afrikaner and African liberation history.
It marks the Afrikaner Day of the Vow and the founding of the ANCs armed wing, Umkhonto we Sizwe. The holiday serves to acknowledge this shared, though conflicting, past and promote reconciliation and forgiveness.
